Pulmonary embolism, also known as PE, is a "complication of pulmonary thrombosis" that can cause "100,000 to 180,000" Americans to die each year. The president of the Intravenous Diseases Alliance said, "More people die from preventable thrombosis each year, not breast cancer, AIDS, and total traffic accidents." The thrombus of the deep vein of the thigh is another type of thrombus.
A thrombus (thrombus) in the deep venous system of the leg is dangerous if the thrombus breaks or passes through the bloodstream, enters the pulmonary artery through the heart and forms pulmonary embolism. A person may not have signs or symptoms of small pulmonary embolism (pulmonary thrombosis), but large embolism may be fatal. The artery has thin muscles on the wall, withstands the pressure of the heart and pumps blood to the distal end of the body. There is no clear muscle lining and blood can not be returned to the heart other than physiological function. Since most muscles of the body compress the vein as it contracts during normal activity, blood returns to the heart. Move the usual activities of the body, blood returns to the heart. Movement causes the blood return system to fail, and the resulting stagnant blood may condense
In 2014 my wife Robin developed several types of pulmonary embolism. This is terrible. She has two thrombi in her left lung and two thrombus on her right. Recently, her condition led to spinal fusion surgery. I helped her to connect her transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulator, which helps her to take medicine and relieve her pain. I also appointed my wife a doctor every week. I love my wife, for me it is very important to her. I am her only carer. My wife is taking warfarin, which is a blood diluent. If she collapses and I am not around, I am worried that she may bleed and die. She already has 2 emergency room visits
